About the Game

You went to Moon Village for a quiet reset. To leave behind the days of space capitalism that led to your burnout. Making some drinks, chatting with patrons – something chill. And yet, somehow you found yourself at the center of a political crisis, with the fate of the bar and the people that rely on it in your hands.

Tequila Moonrise is a bartending sci-fi adventure where choices matter. Serve drinks and manage a dysfunctional bar on the moon, all while balancing personal relationships, space politics and your own need to rediscover your purpose. Play a role in the fate of Moon Village.

Key Features

Shape your character: build your character over the course of hundreds of interactions. Choose between 3 distinct behavioral traits. Give your own unique flavor.

Meet new friends and love interests: deepen your bond with customers, old flames and new flings. Help your friends and unlock rewards. Discover 4 romance options.
Play a role in the fate of Moon Village: persuade people, choose sides, make alliances… hundreds of choices at your disposal. Your successes and failures shape the story. 3 distinct endings.
